Justin O'Shea is new creative director of Brioni

Well, it's not exactly new thing (it happened two weeks ago) but for those who don't know - Congratulations Justin! Let's take a look WHO IS Justin O'Shea."JUSTIN O'SHEA, former fashion director at German luxury e-commerce company Mytheresa.com, has been appointed as creative director at Italian menswear label Brioni, replacing Brendan Mullane", says vogue.co.uk. You can read this interesting article here. Another one here and here.

Anyway, it's obvious that he doesn't have experience as a creative director. But maybe this is what makes him good choice. And possibly good future creative director. O'Shea is Australian self-taught retailer with personal passion for tailoring and a high visibility on a social media. He worked in retail in Perth, Amsterdam and London.

Interesting thing happened and I am looking forward for his creations. When you see him in a suit, there is a cloud of power around him and this is huge inspiration. But his clothes we'll see after a while. Meanwhile we can watch Brioni A/W 16-17 show.
